How good are Fortron PSUs?

[neovan]

I'm in need of a power supply and see the ones at Directron are fairly reasonably priced. Which one is the best bang for the buck?

300W - $29
350W - $38
400W - $59

This will be going in a A7N8X Deluxe & XP1800+ overclocked to XP2200+ speeds with multiple hard drives, cdrw, dvd, flash reader and some other crap. TIA

Is it Fortron or Fortron Source? I believe Fortron Source is a high quality PSU manufacturer. I still have a 300w unit from YEARS ago that's running faithfully in one of my spare machines. And as far as PSU size, I tell people to get the largest they can afford. The simple fact is that of all the components in a computer, the case and PSU are the ones least likely to be replaced. They will survive upgrade after upgrade. If you get a low power PSU sometime down the road you may find that your current PSU is not large enough to handle what you want to put into your system. Then you'll be forced to purchase ANOTHER one. So just get the largest (high quality) one you can afford and never worry about it again.
